PNG or JPG for an iPhone photo?

PNG keeps every pixel of the photo exactly and can be edited and saved again without losing quality, which suits a photo you are going to edit, or a form that asks for PNG. The cost is size: a 12-megapixel iPhone photo as PNG is often 10 MB or more, several times a JPG. For sharing, uploading or email, HEIC to JPG is the better choice; you can also switch to JPG above.

Safari opens HEIC by itself; in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and on Android the photo is decoded by a decoder that runs inside this page, so the photo is never sent anywhere.

What is kept

The photo keeps its full resolution and is turned the right way up. With "Keep the date taken" on, only the date and time the photo was taken are written into the PNG, so it sorts correctly in your gallery; location and camera details are never copied. A Live Photo gives its still picture.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The HEIC photo is decoded and saved as PNG inside this browser tab and is never sent to a server.

Why is the PNG so large?

PNG stores every pixel exactly, and a photo has millions of different pixels. Choose JPG for a file a fraction of the size that looks the same.

Is the location removed?

Yes. Only the date taken is copied, and only when that option is on.

Can I convert a whole album?

Yes. Choose many photos at once; they convert one after another and can be downloaded together as a ZIP.

Is the HEIC to PNG free?

Yes. The HEIC to PNG on The Daily Toolbox is free to use as often as you like, with no watermark and no file limit beyond what your device can handle.

Do I need to sign up or install anything?

No. It works in your web browser on a phone or computer, with no account and nothing to install. You can add the site to your home screen to open it like an app.
